I bought my dress at another bridal store in september 2010 . I am a wedding photographer and by the time my wedding got closer I had already seen 3-4 brides that had dresses similar or just like mine. I no longer felt special or content with my dress. I was ill over the thought of trying to find a new dress in a months time! So I went to Altar bridal hearing that they do a lot of custom work and they took me in ( even though I didn't buy my dress there) feeling my pain and they were able to turn my dress into a beautiful one of a kind number! It seriously looks special and unique and they listened to EXACTLY what I wanted and somehow magically were able to transform my "popular" dress into one that was just for me. I am SOOO glad I went there - you seriously couldn't ask for better customer service!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot say enough good things about Altar Bridal- both the store and people are fantastic! After several attempts at dress shopping at many of the popular retailers in town, I had become less than excited about the whole process. What is fun about not being able to look at the dresses, dealing with rude/stuck-up staff, and the pressure tactics used by many other stores? The first time I visited Altar Bridal, I knew it was something special & different. The look of the store is open and modern and all of the dresses are out on the racks for you to look at. The owner, Dede, is so welcoming and friendly and the rest of her staff is awesome as well. You can tell that Dede loves what she does and wants all her brides to have a fun, relaxing experience. I am an extremely picky and indecisive girl and Dede has been so patient with me. I have not bought THE dress yet but that is probably because there are so many fabulous ones to choose from! I know with Dede’s help, I will find my dress & I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else!

Altar was the third spot that I went to look for a dress my first day out. It had been a long day and was getting into the evening, I was ready to call it a day, but when I walked in that all changed. The atmosphere, the service and most importantly the dresses pepped me up immediately. I was instantly excited and had a boost of energy working with the girls and ultimately finding THE dress. I left that evening with a few in mind, but there was one that was on top of my mind. 2 days later I was back and bought THE dress. I could not have made that decision without their help. They were professional yet personal to your specific needs and wants and it made all the difference in the world and helped an indecisive person decide what I truly wanted. From the service to the selection, Altar made my experience one of the best in my wedding planning and I would highly, highly recommend them to everyone!!!

I absolutely loved my day at Altar! The boutiquey-feeling store is so inviting and cozy and the staff is more than welcoming and friendly. Upon entering the store I had already fallen in love with the dresses in the window. Inside the selection was great and so was the quality. I loved the set up of the store with large fitting areas for individuals and a great set up of community stands in front of the mirrors. The Saturday I went in was a trunk show complete with food and beverages for me and my guests to enjoy. After finding my dress the Altar associates continued giving me full attention bringing out accessories to try and other details to play with. They were not over-whelming in a sales-pitch sort of way, they were trying these things because they were having fun with it, too. I cannot say enough, the day I bought my dress from Altar was one I will always remember.

I’m 11 years into a happy marriage, but recently thought of Altar when looking for a special gift for a good friend. I selected a beautiful red fabric rose as a hair accessory and was impressed with the representative’s creative suggestions on additional uses for the flower, such as pinned at the waist with a sash. I also appreciated the warm and attentive service I received even though I was not in the market for a larger-ticket purchase. I was excited to walk away with a unique and memorable gift. Of course, I couldn’t resist a peek at the gorgeous dresses … what an amazing selection for today’s brides!

Altar is a sleek and stylish dress shop with the most amazing wedding dresses. Consultants are great, they were so friendly and focused on helping me find the perfect dress. Another reason to visit Altar......Local Designers!

I went to Altar because I was looking for something different. When I walked in, I was greeted by the lovely Dede and Alicia. They were so welcoming and accommodating to what I wanted. I am making an appointment next week to buy my dream dress!!

Altar was unlike any other KC bridal store I've visited. The space was contemporary, open and airy. The dresses were a fresh mix of local and national designers. Altar is a breath of fresh air for the KC bridal scene.
